THE CIVIL WAR STARTED IN 1859 AND ENDED IN 1865. LINCOLN WAS ASSASINATED APRIL 14 1865. ONE YEAR BEFORE THE ASSASINATION ALEXANDER LONG GAVE PROBABLY A FOUR HOUR SPEECH TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENITIVE ABOUT BRINGING THE WAR TO A END, AND ALLOW THE SOUTHERN STATES TO GOVERN THEMSELVES. THE PARTY THAT LINCOLN SERVED WITH IS NO IMPORTANCE, BUT TO LET YOU KNOW HE WAS A REPUBLICAN, AND ON A GOOD FRIDAY APRIL 14 1865 HE WAS ASSASINATED. EVERY ONE KNEW HE WAS SETTING OUT TO ABBOLISH SLAVERY, BUT VERY FEW PEOPLE KNEW THAT HIS INTENTION WAS TO FREE THE BLACKS, AND SHIP THEM TO LIBERIA SO BLACKS COULD LIVE APART FROM THE WHITES
